Test Overview. An ammonia test measures the amount of ammonia in the blood. Most ammonia in the body forms when protein is broken down by bacteria in the intestines . The liver normally converts ammonia into urea, which is then eliminated in urine. Ammonia levels in the blood rise when the liver is not able to convert ammonia to urea.
Always measure pH and temperature when you measure ammonia. Without these other measurements it will be difficult to know the toxicity of the ammonia. The careful reporting of ammonia test results is very important. Do not simply tabulate your results as NH 3 because this abbreviation is used for both total and un-ionized ammonia.
